Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice (or adjust to taste)
- 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Batter: In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add the egg, shortening, and water. Blend the mixture well and beat it for about two minutes at medium speed until smooth and slightly fluffy.
-
Assemble the Pie: Pour the batter into a deep 9-inch pie pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
-
Add the Filling: In a separate bowl, mix the apple pie filling with lemon juice and apple pie spice. Carefully spoon this mixture into the center of the batter in the pie pan, spreading it out gently.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the pie for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the crust comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. This Crazy Crust Apple Pie is delicious on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
